Chapter 127: Hunting Game (Part II)

Sun Cheng decided to evacuate, from this Research Center building.

Hidden within the team, his gaze flickered incessantly.

Judging from the information preserved in the Hunter-type individual combat auxiliary device that Revenge had just cracked, there were a total of three Ghost Hunters who had come to Earth this time.

Based on the limited data he had mastered, Sun Cheng analyzed that the Hunter Civilization was clearly a strange race that strictly adhered to racial and hierarchical distinctions; warriors from different ranks received different training and used different equipment. Ghost Hunters were precisely the lowest-born warriors among the Hunters, basically not equipped with armor, and mainly relied on cold weapons and optical stealth to hunt targets, hence the name "Ghost."

However, even if Ghosts were like Cannon Fodder among the Hunters, compared to humans, their advantages were still enormous.

They were tall, their physical fitness and strength far exceeded human warriors, they had received Spartan-style combat and hunting training since childhood, and they possessed the heaven-defying artifact known as the Optical Stealth Net. Therefore, after arriving on Earth, every single one of them was a terrifying soldier king capable of creating the possibility of one against a hundred.

Of course, what made Sun Cheng have the idea of abandoning Daqi shao xiao and the others to evacuate alone was not because he was wary of the Ghosts' strength.

Rather, according to the data cracked by Revenge, in order to avoid encountering difficult opponents during their coming-of-age ceremony, the Liezhazhe Zhanglao responsible for supervising the ceremony would also prepare some Energy Weapons for them, namely Plasma Weapons, Plasma Shoulder Cannons, and so on.

Plasma Weapons, Sun Cheng had been coveting them for a long time!

The technology tree of the planet Cybertron had long since unlocked similar technology. On Cybertron, whether among Decepticons or Autobots, there were many Advanced Warriors equipped with high-powered Plasma Weapons.

It was a pity that his accumulation in the other world was insufficient, and he was far from touching upon the high-level application of energy.

If he could obtain the Plasma Weapons of the Hunter Civilization, through persistent effort, Sun Cheng believed that he would sooner or later be able to completely master the manufacturing methods.

However, after Revenge had killed a Ghost Hunter with a blowpipe earlier, he had already carefully inspected it; that Ghost indeed did not have any Energy Weapons on its body.

It was only after Revenge cracked the information preserved in the Hunter-type individual combat auxiliary device that he learned the Energy Weapons prepared for the Ghosts were stored on the spaceship.

According to the cold and strict coming-of-age ceremony rules formulated by the Liezhazhe Zhanglao group, Energy Weapons were generally not allowed to be used lightly. Only after two of the three Ghosts in each team were confirmed to have lost signs of life could the third return to the spaceship to retrieve and equip the Energy Weapons.

Besides this, what Sun Cheng feared most was that, according to the Hunter coming-of-age ceremony rules, once all three Ghosts holding the ceremony died, a Liezhazhe Zhanglao located somewhere in outer space would detonate the small spaceship that had sent them to Earth, and the explosion's power would likely be no less than ten or twenty thousand tons of high explosives.

If it really came to that point, whether it was losing the Plasma Weapons or a spaceship of alien technology, both were things he absolutely could not accept.

Therefore, although the island was dangerous at this moment, Sun Cheng also had the idea of taking the risk to leave.

Daqi shao xiao and the others stayed on the first floor for quite a while, leaving behind some traps and, after searching the first floor to no avail, they headed straight up the building.

Because he did not need to help with the perimeter watch, Sun Cheng followed the team, while distracted to ensure he did not fall behind, he fiddled with the Camera hanging in front of his chest.

"Master, another Ghost Hunter inside the building is currently staying six meters to the front left!"

On the liquid crystal screen at the back of the Camera, a line of Traditional Chinese characters quietly appeared at this moment.

This was the new contact method Sun Cheng had agreed upon with Revenge while in the restroom. When it was inconvenient to speak, they could use this method to communicate. Other than him, no one present should be able to read these Traditional Chinese characters.

"Has the data for Cold Guard not finished copying yet?"

After he used the strange letter keyboard that appeared on the screen to input this sentence, the resulting Chinese characters quickly disappeared from the screen, replaced by a new line of reply, "Processing is about to finish, do you need me to convey your new instructions to it?"

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Sun Cheng was still inputting characters on the screen when he suddenly felt his shoulder being gently pushed.

He didn't even need to look back; just hearing the woman's voice, he knew who it was.

"Doctor, my Camera seems to have some problems because of the rain, I'm adjusting it to see the situation..."

Answering casually, he did not forget to write quickly with his hand, "Tell Cold Guard, after the data copy is finished, come immediately to return with us, be careful not to let others discover your whereabouts!"

After finishing, Sun Cheng patted the screen with a look of disappointment on his face, "It looks like it really is because of the rain, I don't know if the dinosaur photos saved inside will be erased!"

In the team, someone looked back at the two of them, but didn't say anything.

It was Sai tele boshi who, not knowing if she felt he was easier to talk to or what, suddenly leaned over and said to him in an urgent tone: "Sun, can you help me beg them together to go rescue Ailun and the others? I believe they must still be alive somewhere on the island, perhaps they are waiting for our aid!"

Sun Cheng's heart stirred; this was actually a good excuse to leave.

Hunters were a contradictory and strange species; they worshipped martial prowess, yet they also had a special fondness for hunting ferocious beasts or human warriors.

Coupled with Revenge's constant reminders, now that there happened to be a Ghost Hunter lurking around their squad, it was clear that it had set its sights on Daqi shao xiao and his party, listing them as hunting targets. By comparison, after the two of them left here, unless they encountered those carnivorous dinosaurs again, the probability of safety would actually increase quite a bit.

However, Sun Cheng quickly frowned. He looked at Sai tele boshi seriously and whispered: "Doctor, I think you should be very clear that this is difficult!"

This was a group of meticulous soldiers, there was no doubt about that. From the fact that they casually placed Bouncing Betty and set traps on the first floor just to defend against carnivorous dinosaurs entering the Research Center, and also to guard against the enemy likely hiding in the dark, one could see that they didn't care at all about potential collateral damage!

Hearing this, Sai tele boshi immediately frowned and bit her lip; clearly, as smart as she was, she understood this point too.

"However, I also don't think that being trapped here waiting for support is a good choice, Doctor!" Changing his tone, Sun Cheng quickly comforted her gently, "I remember the security office is on the first floor, there should still be weapons there. Doctor, if you can convince them, I am willing to accompany you to go rescue Grant and the others!"

After finishing, he pursed his lips toward Daqi shao xiao and the others, signaling her to go convince the shao xiao and the others to let the two of them leave.
